Jeremy Ogusky is an artisan potter whose work can be found in restaurants all over the Boston area. He's also worked extensively in public health in Africa, South America, and the US, is the founder of the Boston Fermentation Festival, met his wife in while working with the Peace Corps in a little country called Lesotho, has a one-year-old son, and somehow managed to make time for me to ask him Five Questions. He invited me to his pottery studio and workspace and we chatted about the struggle of balance in daily life, finding efficiencies within restrictions, the joys and difficulties of collaboration, and of course he answered Five Questions along the way. Meet Jeremy.
